Amule

squiddah · 07-31-2005, 07:29 AM

I've had a good look through the forums and Google to find a solution to this problem.
I'm running Ubuntu on Hoary and am fairly proficient at ports and their workings.

I've installed Amule (and Xmule to double-test) and forwarded ports 4662 (TCP) and 4672 (UDP) to my computer but still receive a Low ID. I'm baffled as to how to fix this.
I have no IPtables or firewall type things running, just my computer - router - big bad outside world.

I'm having no other port related problems, torrents and Icecast work perfectly well.

Have you tried the test tool at http://www.amule.org/testport.php ?

Thankyou for that. I tested and got an error. I had yet another poke about in my router configuration and basically it was confused. I have a number of computers on this network and had also forwarded 4662/4672 to another IP on the network. The router wasn't happy.
I've removed all the other bits from the router so no Emule on Windows now (not that I run it often anyhow)

If you set static ips for the different clients you can forward different ports to their ips and configure amule and emule to use the ports you configured.

I do, I have this one at 192.168.1.3, Windows at 192.168.1.99, bfs pc at 192.168.1.54 etc
My router just had a hiccup about it all despite giving it different numbered rule ids.
Never use a BT Voyager 205 router

LOL. Glad it was something so simple. Also a good thing you weren't actively running emule on windows, or it would've given you no error, which would've been real fun.
